AI Summary

In Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections, voters decided on more than 40 local measures concerning data‑centre construction and rejected all but one. The defeats come as Democrats assumed control of Congress in January, and newly elected governors in Texas and Georgia have announced moratoriums on such projects. These outcomes signal a significant political challenge for the AI‑related building boom, which now faces heightened scrutiny and opposition at both state and federal levels.
